| Novant Health is one step closer to sealing a $4.5-billion deal to purchase a Wilmington hospital system, beating out Charlotte rival Atrium Health for a crucial recommendation in the hospital bidding war. The recommendation comes from the Wilmington hospital system’s advisory group, in a unanimous vote Thursday to support Novant’s bid. The deal would follow other moves toward hospital consolidation across North Carolina and the country. In 2018, Charlotte-based Atrium Health announced plans to combine with Macon, Georgia-based Navicent Health. |
